The old town of Ozu is known as the Little Kyoto of Iyo. The town is best known for its castle but you can also discover a beautiful historic district and a must-see for any avid Japanese architectural enthusiast: the villa Garyu Sanso.
Ozu is so tiny that walking is the best way to see it. As you stroll along the cobbled streets, you feel like you’ve been transported a hundred years back. You can’t miss the authentic structures.
